So, someone asked me if I could recommend them some Italian TV programs for kids like Sesame Street, so I figured I’d create a post for everyone (these are all personal recommendations based on my knowledge. You’re more than free to add other programs). Programs for kids are cute, progress slowly and the language is rather elementary, so they’re good to learn another language! The main source I recommend is Raiplay, where you can watch all of them in streaming! 

Albero azzurro: this is actually the closest to Sesame Street because it has puppets (as well as actors) playing and telling stories. The series has been aired since the 1990s, the link sends you to the newest edition. Here their official website.

Melevisione: this is a classic, every kid growing in the early 2000s has a vivid memory of this. The characters come all out of fairy tales. It also has other stories/cartoons inserted in the program. I admit I watched the hell out of this when I was a kid Tonio Cartonio why did you forsake us???

Calimero: this is a super-classic. Calimero is a chick who first aired in ads for a detergent (at first he was black because he was dirty, and the detergent cleaned him), but with time he became a well-loved cartoon.

Pimpa: according to my mom, this cartoon is the one and only reason she was able to feed me when I was a baby who hated eating (boy, I was a fool). It’s the story of the adventure of a dog (pictured in the gif above)

Barbapapà: technically this is a French series, but it’s so ingrained in Italian TV that it deserves a mention. It narrates the adventures of a family of… blobs? (it’s the closest thing I can get to describe them)

Heidi: this technically is not Italian as well, but a Japanese anime. Yet it’s set in Switzerland and Italian kids loved the story so much that the Italian TV started airing it non-stop. The link sends to the new Italian production of the cartoon. It talks about a young orphan sent to live with his grandfather among the mountains.

I Cartoni dello Zecchino d’Oro: the “Zecchino d’Oro” is an international children’s song festival to create songs for children sang by children! The best songs then have been animated and aired on tv. A great idea to combine TV programs for kids with songs.  

- they announce a delay but then the train arrives exactly at the same hour as usual

- they do not announce a delay but the train arrives ten minutes later than usual

- Ticket inspectors who exist only for the first two days of the month and then magically disappear

- the announcer’s voice that becomes shrill by saying that one random word of the phrase, terrifying you, and than returns normal

-friendships born due to the disperation / anger at the announcement of the (umpteenth) delay

- the Angry Nostalgic Old Man ™ that “wHE the DuCE waS hEre The TRains Were PunctUAL”

- but the rest of the station is super calm bc they are blatantly used to delays 

-first and second class interchangeable

- “how this window is supposed to work”

- the announcer that “the train will arrive with 30 minutes of delay” and then “no wait 25″ “40″ “15″ “100″ “60″ “120″ “the train is cancelleD” 

- finding mysterious objects on the seats and wondering how they got there. once i found a celery. what the fuck.

- regarding with disgust the foreigners who use the train bathroom. do u want to die?

-on this note, Trenitalia rules state that if someone feels sick on the train the conducter has to be informed and the train must be stopped. Cue commuters literally waking up from comas to go and stop the poor old lady who is going to talk to the conductor because stopping the train would just fuck up everyone else and that’s not happening on your watch

-the ticket inspectors who just groan when young people don’t have their tickets and don’t even fine you anymore. they just hate their life someone set them free.

-also why they fuck did they remove kilometric tickets and why do the new ones look like receipts

-oh obviously the ticket machines don’t work but luckily there is a strategically placed Baretto equipped with old men playing briscola while smoking and giving you That Dirty Look™

-someone has mentioned this but I feel like we need an actual quotation: é vietato attraversare i binari. servirsi del sottopassaggio.

-also we forgot to mention that literally all trains are insanely full of graffiti like how does that even happen. how on earth do you get that many.

-that one seat that is full of holes and you just know something terrible has happened there and you don’t even care anymore

I shall add:
